Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
Abstract
As the focus of Augmented Reality (AR) shifts from consumer entertainment to industry appliances, there is a big need for exploratory studies to figure out what role they will play in the years to come.

This thesis aims to investigate how AR could be used to enhance the selling, planning and installation of a security system.

A prototype was developed to demonstrate some of the potential benefits of AR in the context. Finally, a user test was conducted on 24 people. The test evaluated both general usability and specific interaction models. Two versions were compared. The results suggested that our AR application was easy to use even for very inexperienced users. It also showed that even though users said
they preferred to handle... (More)
